PEDESTRIANS
The operator has a primary responsibility to protect the safety of themselves, other workers, and pedestrians. Priority must always be given to pedestrians. Take
particular care when turning. Never deliberately frighten pedestrians into moving aside by flashing the lights or sounding the horn. Ensure that pedestrians are
aware when the forklift is approaching, and use a warning device if necessary.
NOTE: It is recommended that products such as a strobe light and a back-up alarm be installed to give pedestrians better warning of forklift
operations.
HAZARDS ARISING WHEN ATTACHMENTS ARE USED ON THE FORKLIFT
When attachments are installed on the forklift, the rated capacity is lessened than that of a standard model.
Check with your Starke EcoMaxx dealer for the rated capacity of the specific attachment used.
An example of the particular considerations that apply when attachments are used is given below:
When the forklift operated is equipped with the side shift attachment, ensure that the load is centered with respect to the forklift during lifting and moving.
Unbalanced loading can result in the forklift tipping over. Whether or not the forklift is equipped with an attachment, loads should never be left in a raised
position. This applies particularly to forklifts equipped with the clamp attachment; leaving a load clamped can cause it to slip out.
